    Contini, Renaud (2012) Nurturing utopia : Jeffersonian expansionism in contexts, 1760-1810. PhD thesis, National University of Ireland Maynooth.

    Abstract

    This work is a study of what I call the Jeffersonian ideology of westward territorial expansion. It consists of five chapters, all looking at a different aspect of this ideology, and it focuses on the years 1780-1810, a period when (from a broad perspective) Jefferson can be considered to have been at the height of his political and intellectual career.
